Mailmerging multiple Word docs and Excel
I use a lot of different Word mailnerge docs with a single Excel spreadsheet.
Since I moved to .xlsx I can only use one doc at a time. The Excel spreadsheet is in use when I try to open the 2nd Word doc. Using Excel saved as .xls I could use as many docs at a time simultaniously. Is there some Excel2207/Word2007 option to correct this. |

Try saving the Excel file in .xls (Excel 97-2003) format.

I already did and it's OK then, but where's the benefit of a new program if I
have to fall back to an older version....... "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Try saving the Excel file in .xls (Excel 97-2003) format. -- Hope this helps.
